Would you believe that in SE Texas near Livingston the WalMart closed yesterday because there was 'freezing slush' on the roads---tis tru. When I grew up in far north Calif, Trinity and Shasta county, there was no such thing as a 'snow day' at school. And nobody closed up for ice or snow. They got school busses when I started 6th grade and ran without the outer dual and chains on the inners, also never got stuck. My first car was an old VW beetle and we welded cross bars to a set of rims for the rear and built A frames with steel skis for the fronts that we used in the worst part of winter. If I had called it a snow-mobile back then I would probably be rich. Today, I live in Utah and it warmed up to -2 yesterday. The local roads are salted and still have ice in the mornings. 2 wd SUV's still pass me at 70+ and end up in the ditch at the next curve. I stopped to help one woman and the first thing she said was "Somebody should have gotten the ice off of my road." She was out of the vehicle and stomping around yelling into her cel phone. As I was leaving she stopped the cel phone conversation long enough to yell obscenities at me for not hauling her SUV out of the ditch.
